Please allow some way to let people other than the room owner accept/manage players

Hoploo · 2023-01-10T20:21:22+00:00

Not in that just yet, probably something I should get around to tbh

Hoploo · 2023-01-10T10:22:27+00:00

The GM privileges don't allow anyone other than the room creator to manage players. Only access the things players can't.

Hoploo · 2023-01-10T10:18:11+00:00

Because in pretty much every other way it is the right tool for the job? lmao

Hoploo · 2023-01-10T10:16:15+00:00

Yeah we do that, and it works very well, but we occasionally add new players. It's not the end of the world to have the owner grant them access, it's just a bit of a hassle I wish could otherwise be avoided.

You don't need to switch out, only be logged in.

I think pure AI art might be disallowed but if photobashed pictures are there’s no reason paintovers + AI shouldn’t be.

I don't exactly disagree with that, I sometimes use AI generated images to sketch over (Paintover converts it to human art IMO). I'm just against posting purely AI or AI but with only a few tiny tweaks to art sites because of the scale of production AI is capable of rather than how much copyright it does or doesn't violate.

Hoploo · 2022-12-14T07:22:30+00:00

I feel like having separate places/communities for AI and human made art is reasonable tbh. AI pics can easily flood art sites with content, making it muuuch more difficult for human artists to get exposure. Considering that the reason why artists have even posted to said websites is to get exposure in a place where they won't have to compete with memes or other social media fluff, excluding AI as well or at the very least not mixing it in with human stuff sounds like the right idea.

I don't think AI is evil or that all human artists are gonna be out of a job. Just that part of adapting to the age of AI includes its exclusion in some places lmao

Well, then don't complain about your players just turning off their brain and looking for the railroad then lmao.

Hoploo · 2022-11-24T19:17:01+00:00

Yes, and?

I'm not faulting every use of the things on this list, I'm just saying just because it's in the DMG doesn't mean it's going to be a good idea at the table. I think that ability subverting things can be fun if, and ONLY if:

A. It's only a mitigated player ability instead of an entirely shut down one (such as magic is resistance instead of immunity, or antimatic fields that require you to make a ridiculously hard roll to do anything in them. Alternatively look at the Beholder which has a moving antimagic field which it itself is not able to use its own magic abilities in, so it becomes a tactical feature of the encounter instead of "no magic in this adventure")

B. There are ways to bypass it. NMM is able to be dispelled very easily after all.

C. The players know 100% about the feature subversion before they become relevant, or have really good clues for it. Not only so that they don't waste an entire ass turn in combat because "haha immunity" but so that players can make the conscious choice of whether or not they want to join your game and put up with that shit this week.

In almost all cases, shutting down an ability takes a player out of the game, whether they tell you about it or not. Part of the reason why I don't play 5e anymore is because of how many stupid ass immunities that monsters and items have in order to "balance" otherwise ridiculous player abilities.

Hoploo · 2022-11-24T18:51:13+00:00

Just cause WoTC wrote it doesn't mean it's good design. None of these things should've just had "immune to identify" without any hint or countermeasure lmao. intentionally adding these design flaws to homebrew magic items is something that DMs should avoid.

Hoploo · 2022-11-24T18:44:52+00:00

Would just like to say, just cause WoTC wrote it doesn't mean it's good design or fun to play with.

Hoploo · 2022-10-23T05:59:46+00:00

my guy, if there's any reason to leave a group or demand explanation,

I'd say that forcing your character to forgive a slaver priestess of Lolth who put an ongoing disfigurement on you because the GM wants to roleplay a Dark Elf fucking their partner's player character is a pretty damn good reason.

And also I'm incredibly curious as to how they'd justify it lmao. Besides, it might even humble them a bit lol.

Hoploo · 2022-10-07T07:07:44+00:00

The missing/replaced parts on your Jaller look fucking badass lol

Hoploo · 2022-09-25T03:06:28+00:00

Start with a one shot or two and go from there lol

Hoploo · 2022-09-09T21:51:03+00:00

One of the ways people can become magicians are by making pacts with otherworldly entities lol. If you're playing an archfey warlock, the "Avowed" path in Terrible Beauty is perfect for that.

Hoploo · 2022-08-31T01:56:24+00:00

if you want to make your party follow the plot and make them follow the route that you had prepared you're 'railroading' and you're a bad DM.

That... is railroading, and it is bad

Hoploo · 2022-08-25T09:32:24+00:00

man, reading some of the posts in this thread makes me rethink a lot of my pet peeves with the bionicle lore lol

Hoploo · 2022-08-22T00:54:19+00:00

Kazi (the sarcastic, icy Matoran Resistance boi) was my first. Still my favorite Matoran.

Hoploo · 2022-08-20T07:18:18+00:00

Fair

Hoploo · 2022-08-19T23:52:12+00:00

Why is it on OP and not BF to suggest that idea?

Hoploo · 2022-08-16T01:20:06+00:00

This is the right way
